The Rich Colors of Fall Foliage at Klehm
The combination of native plants and those from around the world provide a unique botanical resource for study and fall color changes. You will see a beautiful palette of amber, maize and tangerine amongst the evergreen backdrop. At Klehm, there are endless photo opportunities and places to sit and absorb the autumn landscape before snow falls. Keep in mind, the leaves are dropping fast!
Please note our hours have changed with the season and are now 9am-4pm daily.
